That`s simple if you know the operating system on your Sony Vaio Laptop.

Let`s start with Windows 8 and Windows 7:
-Look for the WiFi icon at the bottom. It looks like a staircase Icon if you have your WiFi controller enabled. -You should see the List of available wireless networks -Select your own network and connect -type in the password or the Network key -open a browser to check if you are online.

The first thing you would need to do is to check if your Sony VIAO laptop has wireless network interface card that supports hosted network. To do this, open up Windows XP’s command prompt, and then type the following commands: “netsh wlan show drivers”. The command prompt should now display information about your wireless network card. Find the entry for “Hosted network supported” and see if the value on its right side says “Yes”. If it does, then you can make a wifi hotspot out of your own Sony VIAO laptop by using any of the methods below.

1. Download and install a third-party application. There are available applications that simplify the creation of wifi hotspot via your laptop. A popular example is Connectify : [LINK VISIBLE TO REGISTERED USERS - CLICK HERE TO SEE THIS LINK] . A good alternative is Free WiFi Hotspot[LINK VISIBLE TO REGISTERED USERS - CLICK HERE TO SEE THIS LINK]
2. Use your laptop’s inbuilt features. If you can afford to take some extra steps, you can go with the native way of turning your device into a wifi hotspot. To do this, follow these steps:1. Open the command prompt and then type the following commands before hitting enter: “netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yournetworkname key=yournetworkpassword," where yournetworkname is the name of your wifi hotspot and yournetworkpassword is the password required in order to connect to the hotspot.
2. Start the hosted network mode. To do this, type this command: “netsh wlan start hostednetwork”.
3. Go to Windows XP’s “Network Connections”. Locate the Local Area Connection from which you are connected to the internet via the wired Ethernet cable. Right-click it and click “Properties”. In the ensuing window, click the “Advanced” tab, and then in the “Internet Sharing” section, check the “Allow other network users to connect...” option. Click “OK” and that should complete the wifi hotspot creation process.
4. Go to another laptop and see if you can find the wifi hotspot you just created via your Sony VIAO laptop. And finally, connect to it by entering the password you set earlier.

royguarin said: Many thanks, wikifight23, to your effort to help me, unfortunately for me in my vaio does not support "netsh wlan network card", and, therefore I cannot apply the method to turn it into wifi hotspot. Perhaps, you can help me to figure the way to get my laptop vaio connected to wired LAN connector serve as router or, again wifi hotspos, for my samsung galaxy young GT S6310. Is there any method that will work by turning my Sony Vaio Laptop to this purpose? I really, want an internet signal for my galaxy coming from my laptop with only built in "W LAN` wireless internet connection. Thank you again.

First you should know that your laptop has wifi connectivity as built in. Meaning it has already a wireless device otherwise you will have to buy a router and connect it to your laptop by way of ethernet cable. I assuming you have an internet connection, this way, you connect a router in it and setup that router`s wireless connectivity. The way to do it is as follows:

1. Configure the wireless access point or router to ensure that the requisite settings are made.2. Next is type the router or access point IP address into the browser. This would immediately lead you to the router setup page. 3. Enter username and password, it depends on what type of router you have normally just type admin for username and admin for password.4. Once your inside, click the Wireless tab and set up the network SSID.5. Next, select a security type such as WPA or WEP to protect your wireless network. 6. Then click on the icon of wireless network in the notification area in your laptop`s task bar. 7. Then click on Connect to network window.8. Lastly, select the network and click on Connect.

Now you have access to your wireless networking. Your wireless network will ask you a security key and its the same security key that you provided in your wireless setup. An djust click Save this network tab. Now your wifi laptop is ready to connect to your other devices as hotspot wifi. Assuming you alresady know the username and password you have setup.

What you are referring to here is reverser tethering. If your sony vaio laptop has a wireless network adapter built in, you can create a wifi hotspot by using the connectify software. Check it out here:

Sure, download a program called Connectify. and use it to make your Vaio Wifi as a Hotspot with Name and a security password... then others can search for the WiFi and connect using the password you provide.

Hi ... I have a Sony Vaio and Apple MacBook at home. I have connected the Apple to the internet by ethernet cable and set it up to allow sharing through Wi-Fi. My Sony is able to identify the network and upon selecting the Apple MacBook, I am asked to enter a password (which I set up on the Apple). Unfortunately, this is as far as I can get, as my Vaio will not connect to my Apple.
Any thoughts on how to make the connection work?
Thanks
